Dance with Suzi

Fall Classes

Have fun dancing while learning the basic skills in Ballet/Tap and Hip-Hop/Tumble, learning fun songs and cool dance moves. Children are escorted to and from their camp classroom or to carpool after class. Please have your camper bring dance clothing or something easy to move in to camp. Don’t forget to bring any dance shoes you might have and please label everything.

This is a high-energy class full of jazz and tap warm-ups, loco-motor movement, tap steps, improvisation, and combinations. Dancers will learn body isolations and alignment, develop an understanding of rhythm as well as spatial awareness. Dancers will also learn to create their own tap steps. The ballet section incorporates ballet steps and techniques while using imagery and creative movement.

Each weekly class is full of energetic rhythm and dances. Kids move to the fun beat of pop and hip-hop music. Each week kids will also work on cartwheels, splits, round-offs with use of mats. They will learn simple street moves, jumps, and turns. Costumes and props all add to the fun. This class uses traditional clean hip-hop music.
